I did watch the video and a few things I noticed that the for-profit institutions are better at where faster turnaround time on developing new curriculum, better non-standard class schedules and better management of online classes to provide as much flexibility for the students as possible. The state institutions are incredibly bad at all of those things. The online thing is just beyond me. All you need to do is setup a tiny server farm, hire some web developers to setup some course management software and you're ready to go. The curriculum problems I also don't understand but I think it's because there are way too many bureaucratic layers to get any new kind of curriculum change approved so people don't even bother.

The state institutions are incredibly bad at all of those things. The online thing is just beyond me. All you need to do is setup a tiny server farm, hire some web developers to setup some course management software and you're ready to go. I think an important issue here is that the for-profits have good numbers in these areas, but not necessarily good results. It's important to note that we can't objectively say that these things are better from an education standpoint, only from a monetary standpoint. Perhaps traditional institutions are more inflexible (don't offer online courses, etc.), but maybe that isn't an effective teaching method.
